drains an expansive network of valleys in the
mountains west of the Cascade Range and south of
the Willamette Valley, from which it is
separated by the Calapooya Mountains. The
"Hundred Valleys of the Umpqua" form the
timber-producing heart of southern Oregon
centered on Roseburg. The river flows entirely
within Douglas County, which encompasses most of
the watershed of the river from the Cascades to
the coast.

The Umpqua River
is formed by the confluence of the North
Umpqua and South Umpqua rivers, both of which
rise in the Cascades, approximately 6 mi (10 km)
northwest of Roseburg. In modern terminology,
the "Umpqua Valley" is sometimes taken to refer
to the populated lower reaches of the South
Umpqua south of Roseburg, along the route of
Interstate 5.

The North Umpqua

The North Umpqua rises from
snowmelt and is considered one of the premier
summer steelhead streams in the West. The
combined river flows generally northwest through
the Coast Ranges in a serpentine course past
Umpqua and Elkton. At Elkton it turns to flow
west past Scottsburg. It enters Winchester Bay
on the Pacific at Reedsport. It receives the
Smith River from the north near its estuary on
Winchester Bay. The Umpqua River Lighthouse
protects the mouth of the river.

The Umpqua River is one of Oregon's most
beautiful rivers. This popular Southern
Oregon river is famous for outstanding
salmon and steelhead fishing and
exhilarating whitewater challenges. The
North Umpqua River offers an ideal setting
for many recreational pursuits. The North
Umpqua provides the right challenge for all
types of rafters and kayakers, from placid
Class I waters to roaring Class IV rapids.
The best months to raft are May, June, and
early July.

Fishing The Umpqua
River

The
Umpqua river and Smith River are home to
Silver Salmon and the Chinook Salmon. Coho
Salmon are abundant throughout most of the
Pacific Northwest bays and rivers. These
hard fighting great tasting fish enter the
rivers with the fall Chinook and are most
common during the late part of the fall
Chinook Salmon run.

Later
in the summer as the water flows
decrease, boaters test their
rock-maneuvering skills as the
rapids become more technical. Almost
34 miles of the North Umpqua have
been designated as a Wild and Scenic
River and this section has been set
aside exclusively for fly-fishing.
The 79 mile long North Umpqua Trail
parallels the river and offers
visitors challenging hiking and
mountain biking experiences. Visit
the
Bureau Of Land Management
website for lots more information.
